[QUOTE="crash1270, post: 60033, member: 2341"] I'm pretty sure I have sleep apnea. I snore pretty bad, have stopped breathing a few times in my sleep, also have severe nighttime allergies. I cannot sleep on my back with my snoring. I have GER and several times while sleeping on my stomach I have had acid re-flux that has come up my esophagus and into my lungs causing violent coughing attacks. I have all the typical symptoms with a family history of apnea. I have plans to have a sinuplasty surgery to clean up my whole sinus system and a deviated septom. Last year I went to my ENT doc and he prescribed a sleep study so I scheduled it. Sleep center called me to verify insurance and inform me my fee was $2,800. About that time my wife tore her rotator cuff and labrum and we were in for a big insurance deductible so I canceled the sleep study. I can afford the sleep study a few months down the road but at present it is pushed back. I have seen where you can buy CPAP machine in parts without a prescription. I am thinking about doing it this way. My insurance deductible is $5k so I am willing to try the DIY method if its even possible? I understand that a sleep study is important and I will be getting one this year. I would like to get a jump start on the CPAP if it is possible??!! Is there a cheaper way to get into a CPAP?
